On Memorial Day, May 25, 2015, members of Mystic Valley Lodge were pleased to participate in the annual Memorial Day ceremony at the Prince Hall Mystic Cemetery in Arlington. This marked the 25th Anniversary of the re-dedication of the cemetery.

Mystic Valley Lodge welcomes its newest members, Brothers Mohamed Masoud, Michael Healey and David Baxley, on Past Master’s night, May 12, 2015.

Thank you to all the Brethren who made this Spring’s Open House a great Success.  Over 70 people signed in and upwards of 100 friends and guests visited the building, including Selectman Joe Curro; Mass. Bar Assoc President-Elect Robert Harnais; First District Middlesex Eastern Bar Association President Janice Stanziani; Italian-Sports Hall of Fame Former Malden City Councilor Bill Spadafora; West End Museum Curator Duane Lucia; National Sons of Italy Recording Secretary James DeStefano; Massachusetts Sons of Italy State First Vice President Tony Sestito.

The highlight of the Open House was our Boston Garden Boxing Boxing Exhibit and the presentation to our honored guest World Welter Weight Boxing Champion 1955, Tony Demarco.

The Blood Drive was also a great success due to the work of Chairmen Eric Rollo and Jon Hindmarsh.

The Kraft Family Blood Mobile will be in the back parking lot during our spring Open House, 9AM-3PM.

Spring Open House is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2015. The Former World Welter Weight Boxing Champion (1955) Tony DeMarco will be our honored guest.
